Traditional coatings like nickel-chrome plating not only present sub-corrosion risks but are also brittle, leading to cracking and peeling under bending, vibrations, or impact. In contrast, laser cladding provides high ductility, enabling flexibility without cracking, even under mechanical stress.
This makes laser cladding especially suited for longer cylinder rods, where bending is more prevalent. Moreover, our repair solutions can restore damaged rods with thicker layers of multiple millimeters, without compromising on flexibility or resistance to impact—issues that commonly affect traditional coatings.
Depending on the application and operating conditions, we offer a range of solutions from the Quarite- and Tardisphere-series, designed for maximum protection against wear, corrosion, and impact.
We recommend selecting the appropriate layer based on the specific demands of your environment. For instance, Quarite NR+ provides outstanding protection in environments with high corrosion risks, while Tardisphere offers high strong corrosion resistance as well, with the added benefit of superior abrasion resistance and impact protection, making it ideal for environments with abrasive materials.
